At this point in life only enjoy building models of cars I saw or could have seen at the local
track in Jacksonville. This one I don't remember but very familiar with the driver.

appears to be Buick powered. Not one of the better looking cars. Have to do some guess work on the
decals. But still an interesting one to work on.

After seeing your amazing builds and watching MN Max YouTube videos, I think I'll give one of these old school race cars a try once we get moved and I get a bench set up.

Adding those whitewalls is a pain but worth it in the end. Mostly this is an AMT 34 Ford sedan. Even used the original interior but added roll bars & single seat. Testors gold, red and Chrome paint.
High quality no need to use an airbrush anymore.
Mikes decals resin tires and wheels.
Lazer printed decals .
Fun EZ model to build.
Working on another 34 Ford that that I'll post soon.

If you have a Harbor Freight or similar store around, they sell a small amount in a plastic tube about 2-3 foot long for about $15. Make sure to get aluminum as it also comes in various types of steel.

Tips-tricks / Tig Weld rod.

If you know of any Tig welders,here's some aluminium rod,3-32".


Very pliable, bends easily by hand and holds its shape.
It's slightly oversized compared to the 1/24 roll cages, but if no other choice, may just work.

I don't have X, Twitter or Facebook. I did see when that young guy totally rebuilt JR51 and Mark did a lap at Vegas in 2023. Did he purchase it from the guy who rebuilt it, he was a big Mark Martin fan.My son was chatting with Mark at Limerock Park in CT at a race last year. I think he also owns JR10 and maybe JR52? I have the "cage" almost complete. Will order the parts from Jaye's this week.
